The My Files tab transfers one file to several devices of the same model at once, across every site in the portal — so a show file, a firmware image or a media asset goes out in one operation rather than site by site.

Add files

Add a file either by uploading it from your computer with Upload file, or by promoting a file already uploaded to the Files tab of a device you have permission to see.

Once it is added, give it a name and a description. That is all the reader of the list has to go on later, so name it for what it does rather than what the file happens to be called.

Transferring a file

In a file's options drop down, choose Transfer. In the modal that opens, pick the devices across the portal you want it sent to, or check All matching devices to send it to every device of that model in the list.

The Select devices multi-select box searches the list, which is worth using before you reach for All matching devices on a large portal.

Editing files

Edit in the Options drop down changes a file's name and description; Delete removes it.
